Before beginning this process please remove all filament from the print jets

and check that your print pad is level. For instructions on how to do this

please refer to the CubeX users guide

Removing the damaged print jet

1. Turn off the CubeX printer and unplug it from the mains power.

2. Unplug the two white looms from the top of the damaged print jets sensor

board,

3. Label the Print Jet motor looms with the corresponding print jet number and

unplug them.

5

4. Remove the bolts holding the Feed Tube mount in place. The amount of bolt

will vary depending on the amount of print jets your CubeX has.

A CubeX will have the bolts circled in red.

A CubeX duo will have the two bolts circled in red and the bolt circled in green.

A CubeX trio has the bolts circled in red, green and blue.

5. You should now be able to move the Feed Tube mount from the top of the

print jets to expose the print jet mounting bolt.

6

6. Remove the mounting bolt. This can be very tight.

7. You should now be able to lift the print jet away from the Print Jet carriage

plate.

Installing the new print jet

1. Check your Print Jet is assembled and that the print tip moves freely when

pushed in and out of the drive. The Print tip moves freely for the levelling

process. Once the levelling process has been completed the Print tip will be

locked off.

If your Print Jet and print tip are not assembled together when you receive them, you

can assemble them by inserting the locating end of the Print tip into the Print Jet as

pictured below.

8

2. Place the Print Jet onto the Print Jet carriage plate as pictured, note the

locating standoff and corresponding hole present on the Print Jet

3. Ensure that the wires from the Print tip are orientated to travel straight up to

the Sensor board

4. Replace the M3 x 20 bolt into the hole as pictured and fasten. This must be

tight.

5. Re attach the Feed Tube mount.

6. Plug the motor looms back into their corresponding motors.

7. Plug in the Print Jet sensor board looms.

Levelling the print tips for CubeX Duo/Trio

If your CubeX only has a single print jet please see section ‘Fastening the print

tip on a CubeX’

1. Power on the CubeX printer

2. To clean the nozzles for levelling, put the CubeX printer into PJ-Control mode.

Heat all of the print jets EXCEPT for the new one to 230° and clean of any

plastic debris with pliers. Allow the Print Jets to cool down.

3. Put the CubeX printer into manual move mode.

4. Raise the print pad until it is approximately 5mm away from the print tips.

11

5. Slowly raise the print pad until it lifts the new print tip in line with the others. All

three print tips should be touching the bed without putting any pressure on it.

6. Turn the CubeX printer off and unplug it from the mains power supply.

7. Using the 2.5mm hex driver, tighten the print jet holding bolt (pictured) to lock the

print jet in place.

With the print tips levelled you can now turn on the CubeX printer and set the print tip

offsets

Setting Print Tip offsets

See the CubeX user guide for instructions on how to set your print tip offsets.

Fastening the print tip on a CubeX

A CubeX with a single print jet does not have a second or third nozzle to reference

the print tip level. Instead you have to use the CubeX wiping stick.

1. Power on the CubeX printer

2. Put the CubeX into manual move.

3. Raise the print pad until it is approximately 5mm away from the print tip.

4. Slowly raise the print pad until the print tip is touching it.

5. Continue raising the print pad until there is approximately 0.5mm between the

print pad and the CubeX wiping stick.

13

6. Turn the CubeX printer off and unplug it from the mains power supply.

7. Using the 2.5mm hex driver, tighten the print jet holding bolt (pictured) to lock

the print jet in place.

With the print tip fastened you can now turn on the CubeX printer and start printing.
